"Is too!"

"How would that even work when someone gets hurt by something that isn't another person?" 

Snake-shrug. "Fight if you can. If not, no shame."

It moves to slither around her.

"How do you fight stepping on something sharp?" 

She moves to stay between Kyokyomon and Chibimon. 

"Thorns can be burned away."

"What if the fire gets on other things?" 

"One does one's best," it says, gathering its tail under itself. "Too much damage is not honorable."

"But if you hurt people because they hurt other people then there will be more hurt and hurt makes people upset and that's really bad!!!"

"If you do not then there is dishonor, and theft, and rampancy, and in time more hurt. That is worse."

And it pushes itself into the air from the ground, briefly stretching to several times its usual length, and begins to glide over her head.

There wouldn't be much she could do about that even if it weren't enough of a surprise to leave her gaping for a couple of seconds. 

She can chase after him, though. "Wait! He didn't know it would hurt her! You shouldn't hurt people over mistakes!" 

...It turns and glides to the ground. "Say more about mistakes?"

"We're really new and there's a lot of things we don't know! If Chibimon doesn't know what hurts people then they can't avoid hurting people perfectly, they can only try to make it better after, so if they get hurt every time they mess up then they'll just get hurt all the time without being able to avoid it and then they'll be really unhappy all the time and maybe not want to not hurt people. So, so maybe it would make sense to go after him and ask him to say he's sorry and maybe bring her some of a kind of fruit she hasn't tried, but hurting him won't fix anything." 

"Okay," it nods. "I will try it."

"I'll help!" 

Lalamon and Kyokyomon follow the direction Chibimon went, leaving the purple-tailed blob and the rest of their friends with the fruits.

These might be the long red fruits he was talking about, but he doesn't seem to be there.

If he's figured out how to climb trees, he might be somewhere up in this one? Kyokyomon could go up and check.

...While Kyokyomon is doing that, Lalamon will try a long red fruit. 

It's crisp and crunchy and most especially spicy. It tastes like her face is a little bit on fire, and like if she wanted to, she could spread that fire around.

The spiciness persists for a bit even after swallowing the bite.

Bwaaaaaaack! She attempts to blow the fire out of her mouth. This probably isn't going to work but it might be funny that she falls over backwards in surprise while doing so. 

Then perhaps the absence of laughter indicates she's unobserved. Despite the burning feeling, no actual fire comes out of her mouth when she blows.

As the spiciness subsides, she can notice the more subtle flavor of being more on edge, more amped up, more antsy to do stuff.

Huh. Okay. She will put this antsiness into catching up with Kyokyomon. 

Kyokyomon is still up in the tree. Is she trying out how well her new leaves can carry her?

Yesssssssss. 

Spin, spin, spinspinspin UP! Her two leaves are slower at lifting her increased mass, but once they get going, it's a lot easier to hover bobbing in the air rather than have to keep hopping through the air on her onetime leaf. Similarly she can't make such sudden course adjustments, but she can set her sights in most any direction and fly that way.
